    2004 Harley Davidson VRod

    Worked on my brothers Harley Davidson. It's a 2004 with 4K miles on it. He's done some changes to the bike after he purchased it from the previous owner.

    Wash: Meguiar's D114

    Paint Decon: Nanoskin Fine Grade Sponge, Meguiar's D155

    Compound: Pinnacle Advanced Compound

    Polish: Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish

    Paint Coating prep: Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish

    Protection: Pinnacle Black Label V2

    Tires: Blackfire All In One Trim and Tire Protectant

    Metal: Meguiar's Fine Cut Metal Polish, Wolfgang Metal Sealant


    Rear Panel Before:

    There are some very deep scratches that require touch up paint of he chooses to repair them.



    Rear Panel after a compound and polish.





    This is the location for the where the rear seat is attached. 2" pads come in handy.



    After a compound and polish. Not perfect but much better.



    Final reflection shots







    I took outside for a few minutes and it did not take long for the Santa Ana winds to blow dust on it.

    Very nice work Mike!

    I thought tire dressings were a no-no for bikes?

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Thanks. Lol you are not the first person to say this about the tire dressing.

      Blackfire AIO is more of a cleaner that leaves something behind. It is not like a typical dressing. Also the area it was applied to is so small. It's about an inch in size. It's nowhere near the brakes or the tread pattern. He rarely rides it anyway so it will be fine. Think of it as QID for tire and trim.
